Breaks down house dust (dung and carrion mites) that cause lasting allergy symptoms

Share This Post

It has been confirmed that STREAMER technology decomposes house dust (dung and carrion mites) that cause perennial allergies. It was also found that when year-round allergies and seasonal allergies are combined, allergy symptoms may worsen or develop, but these causative substances also break down at the same time.

Inhibits worsening of allergy symptoms caused by mites (faeces and carrion)

As a result of testing, it was confirmed that allergic symptoms caused by mites (faeces and carrion) were suppressed by 99% or more in 48 hours by STREAMER irradiation.

Testing Method

As the typical causative agent of perennial allergies, STREAMER was irradiated to the house dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) at different times. The rate of inactivation (the rate of loss of allergic ability) was measured by allergen activity before and after irradiation using the ELISA method (a method for detecting and measuring the ability of allergens to bind antibodies using enzymatic reactions).

*1: When a reaction with an allergen occurs in the body, IgE antibodies that can only bind to the allergen are produced, and when the reentered allergen reacts with IgE antibodies, various allergy symptoms are produced. Because it is only detectable in very small amounts in healthy people, it is usually used for immunological tests.

Suppresses the reduction of allergy symptoms caused by mites (dung and carrion) + cedar pollen

As a result of the test, it was confirmed that 99% or more decreased allergic symptoms due to mites (faeces and carrion) + cedar pollen was suppressed within 48 hours after STREAMER irradiation.

Testing Method

The house dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) as the typical causative agent of perennial allergies, and cedar pollen antigens as the typical causative agent of seasonal allergies were irradiated with STREAMER at different times. The rate of inactivation (the rate of loss of ability to cause allergies) was measured by allergen activity before and after irradiation using the ELISA method (a method for detecting and measuring the strength of allergens to bind antibodies using enzymatic reactions).
